Australian PO sends SMS snail mail announcements
If you've got a PO box, trekking out to check for new mail can be a real chore -- especially if you get to the post office only to discover that nobody loves you enough to write to you. So, it's good to know that the powers that be at Australia Post are now offering an SMS notification service for PO box customers. For AU$89 ($65.54) per year, the Mail2Day service will send you a text message every time you've got new mail, saving you from that long, unfulfilling trek to the empty box. Of course, the message doesn't tell you what kind of mail is waiting for you, so if you do the hike only to find that the box is stuffed with bills and catalogs, you're on your own.
